No iTunes or QuickTime with Vista

An interesting article. This will impact some people. .MOV is a common standard for video from digital still cameras. It can be converted, but we might need a non-Vista computer to do it.

The iTunes problem might be more pervasive because there are a slew of iPod users with PCs.

I haven't had an issue playing the .mov files I have on my Vista PC or using iTunes. The only thing I haven't yet tried in iTunes is purchasing something from the store.

I can play quicktime movies,however Quicktime VR does not work for me,try clicking on the camera for Quicktime VR 360 degree look,here. all I get is a question mark when Quicktime VR fails to work.

Quicktime in 64bit Vista is a horror I wish upon no one. No sound from the plugin in browsers, buffer overflows when playing any video content in the standalone application.

Works pretty well for me in 32bit Vista though - just no scrub bar in the browser plugin.

The only problem I've had with iTunes is it won't sync if you connect the iPod while iTunes is closed. You have to make sure to open iTunes first, then connect the iPod.

I don't use QT at all, that crap should be classified as malware.

I'm running ITunes just fine on Vista.

Napster also works fine.

Only multimedia software issue I've had is the Creative software that came with my wife's Vision keeps locking up under Vista.
